A school names after my
ancestor the first Sachem of the Mohegan Tribe!
I believe that I now have two
more friendly angels on my shoulders helping me to get in touch with countries
around Mother Earth (no names at this time until I can get their
permission).
Other countries have been
coming to my website and blogger looking for information about my people
however, ending up on a posting from a school in Uncasvillage (Norwich
Connecticut).
This schools principal posted
a parcel statement from one of my 1994 website written by her school children on
the school website.
This statement, with two
photos, stayed on that school website for many years or until the casino Indians
came into power in Connecticut?
For many years starting
with Sachem Tallfox, then Sachem Zeak
and I, would be asked to come to schools around Uncasvillage, we have never
turned down a chance to enjoy a day with the children.
Because the website was taken
down the information has been polluted. For instance, Sachem Rolling Thunder (
my uncle) was a Sachem of the original traditional Penobscot people from
Maine.
"Our people spent a lot of
time in and around the land that this school was built on so there are many
Sacred places, some still have not been overrun by Euro
Americans!
This was the schools
website!
"Our school is named after
the first Sachem of the Mohegan Indians, Uncas. This is Uncas' story, as told
by the present leader of the Storey Clan, Walkingfox. "The Storey Clan is from
the Abanaki Algonquin Nation." --Sachem Rolling Thunder. "After Grand Sachem Wopigwooit, who died in
1631, the next Sachem of the Pequot tribe, could have been either Uncas or
Sassacus, because of their blood lines. Most of the tribe wanted the leadership
to go to Sassacus, and so it did. After many years, many wars, and the loss of
many young braves of the nation of the Pequot's, Chief Uncas tried to get Sachem
Sassacus to stop the wars and make peace with the white
man. Chief Uncas
tried to explain to his people, that if they continued on this path of war and
destruction, they would soon no longer exist. So, Chief Uncas took all who
wanted to go and moved them across the Pequot River, which is now called the
Thames, to the Great Falls of the City of Kings, which is now called Norwich,
and named the Clan, the Mohegan's. The name Mohegan means Wolf. (Shortly after) this time,
Uncas became the Grand Sachem of the Mohegan's." http://www.sachem-uncas.com"
